( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Probably a bit off-topic here, but I'm curious with OpenBSD's version of the Unix utility 'patch'. My module File::Patch::Undoable is trying to test whether patch supports --dry-run option. OpenBSD's patch does not, but unlike other flavors which also do not support --dry-run (like FreeBSD's), it does not return non-zero exit code when fed unknown option, causing CPANTesters to report lots of errors for my dist (solely on OpenBSD, of course).

Can someone with access to an OpenBSD system help give some idea on identifying this particular flavor? Otherwise, I might as well check for $^O specifically.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
